Dear Parents and Caregivers, I have had the real pleasure of showing prospective parents around the school in the afternoons and the Woollahra Campus is a hive of activity. On Wednesday afternoon this week the Debating Teams took up most of the classrooms spilling out onto the rooftop, all engaged and preparing arguments. The Junior Drama Company was rehearsing for their upcoming play. There was basketball practice, the Senior Jazz Band were rehearsing in the Music Terrace and there were a number of students getting tutorials from their teachers. I really enjoy asking some of the students that I come across to explain what they enjoy at Reddam. The answers always include great teachers who encourage them to give of their best, who make lessons fun and actually listen and care for their wellbeing as well as the many opportunities to get involved in the extra curricular programme. The articulate, confident nature of all of our students is what then convinces the parents on the tour that this is the school for their child. I am in awe of our students every day. Year 12 HSC Drama students attended their Drama Camp last weekend at Stanwell Tops Conference Centre. They were given a circus skills workshop from Swoop Physical Theatre and watched 'Meltdown' a play for young people produced by Zeal Theatre Company that highlighted the importance of narrative, clear characters and transformational acting. Devising work was facilitated by their Drama teachers Mr Hodgson and Mr Montgomery. The students produced some excellent performance work to kick start their Group Performanc-

Sophia Glasson continues to impress in fencing. Last week, we reported on her finishing in the Top 32 in World Junior(U20) Fencing Championship in Dubai and as a 14-year-old winning the Bronze medal at the Australian Fencing Circuit (Senior category), all during the holidays. This week she has just heard the good news that she will represent Australia in London to compete at The Commonwealth Fencing Championships across Senior, Junior and Cadet Categories in August. That is seriously impressive Sophia, well done.

REDDAM SKI CAMP 2022

REDDAM SKI CAMP 2022

Winter - Sunday 10th July - Friday 15th July This camp has been designed by skiers/boarders to give students maximum time on the snow. We will be staying at Snowy Gums Lodge at Smiggin Holes and skiing at Perisher. Subject to conditions we aim at skiing 9.00am to 5.00pm each day. Staying on snow allows us to monitor conditions across the entire resort. On the blue sky days we will be there for the 1st lifts and if there are blizzards we can keep our students warm and dry in the lodge and avoid the chaos on the road up to the ski fields. With experienced and enthusiastic teachers, the students will have a great time on the snow! This Camp is open to the intermediate and advanced, unfortunately we can not take beginners this Winter as there is a lack of Ski Instructors. Beginners will be able to join the Spring Camp this year. Please see Mr Kable for a booking form or email: phil.kable@reddamhouse.com.au for further details.
